One of the most common questions bowhunters ask me is, "What the real secret is to killing big bucks?"

Since they are asking, I can safely assume that those inquisitive folks don't have access to unbelievable deer ground or savings accounts that would rival a Saudi oil prince. Ruling out prime ground and paying-to-play where 200-inchers are common, the answer is almost always the same — time.
